48 qualified dentists of the German Dental Association International charity organization carried out free dental examinations on 8000 patients in Bayankhongor aimag Mongolia. According to dental specialists 60-70 percent of both children and adults have dental problems.
Dentists are concerned that there are only a few children who have healthy teeth.
Sugar intake is blamed as a major contributor to the higher dental problems. German dentists suggest Mongolians to cut sugar intake and to focus on decreasing the number of shops where offer wide range of sweets and confections.
Bayankhongor is not the only place where dentist and dental equipments are needed.
